Drilling machine

1. Drilling machine

2. Introduction • Drillingis a metal cutting process carried out by a rotating cutting tool to make circular holes in solid materials. • Tool which makes hole is called as drill bit or twist drill.

3. Drilling machine • A power operated machine tool which holds the drill in its spindle rotating at high speeds and when actuated move linearly against the work piece produces a hole.

4. Types of drilling machine. • Portable drilling machine • Bench drilling machine • Radial drilling machine • Pillar drilling machine • Gang drilling machine • Multiple drilling machine

5. Portable drilling machine

6. Bench drilling machine • These are light duty machines used in small workshops. • Also called Sensitive drilling machines because of its accurate and well balanced spindle. • Holes of diameter 1 mm to 15 mm.

7. Bench drilling machine

8. parts • Vertical main column • Base • Moving drill head • Work table • Electric motor • Variable speed gear box and spindle feed mechanism.

9. working • Work piece with the exact location marked on it with the centre punch is clamped rigidly on the work table. • spindle axis and center punch indentation are in same line. • Machine is started and drill bit is lowered by rotating feed handle. • Drill bit touches the work and starts removing material.

11. Radial drilling machine • These are heavy duty and versatile drilling machine used to perform drilling operate on large and heavy work piece. • Holes up to 7.5 cm.

12. Radial drilling machine

13. parts • Heavy base • Vertical column • Horizontal arm • Drilling head

14. working • Work piece is marked for exact location and mounted on the work table. • Drill bit is then located by moving the radial arm and drill to the marked location. • By starting drill spindle motor holes are drilled.

15. Drilling machine operation • Reaming • Boring • Counter boring • Counter sinking • Spot facing • Tapping

16. Reaming • It is a process of smoothing the surface of drilled holes with a tool. • Tool is called as reamer. • Initially a hole is drilled slightly smaller in size. • Drill is replaced by reamer. • Speed is reduced to half that of the drilling.

17. Reaming

18. Boring • It is process carried on a drilling machine to increase the size of an already drilled hole. • Initially a hole is drilled to the nearest size and using a boring tool the size of the hole is increased.

19. Counter boring • This process involves increasing the size of a hole at only one end. • Cutting tool will have a small cylindrical portion called pilot. • Cutting speed = two-thirds of the drilling speed for the same hole.

20. Counter sinking • This is an operation of making the end of a hole into a conical shape. • Cutting speed = half of the cutting speed of drilling for same hole.

22. Spot facing • It is a finishing operation to produce flat round surface usually around a drilled hole, for proper seating of bolt head or nut. • It is done using a special spot facing tool.

25. Tapping • Process of cutting internal threads with a thread tool called as tap. • Tap is a fluted threaded tool used for cutting internal thread • Cutting speed is very slow.

27. Specification of a radial drilling machine • Power capacity eg: 1.5 hp for drilling motor and 0.5 hp for elevating motor. • The range of speed of spindle eg: 50 to 2800 rpm.

28. Length of arm on which drill head can traverse. eg: 600 mm. • Vertical movement of the arm eg: 500 mm. • Angular swing of arm eg: 360˚

29. Range to which drill bit can reach eg: 350 mm to 900 mm. • Drill depth eg: 32 mm for steel.
